We've currently got the problem bigukg, that as there's fewer racers entering leagues, that you're left with 6 guys on a grid, and after the first season, the league either flops, or won't return until potential entrants return.
That's not saying "there's not as many lfs racers, blah blah blah", i'm saying that as things stand, people just aren't entering leagues.
For example my Stock Cup league peaked at 30+ racers this spring, but the autumn league only attracted 12-14 entrants. And I was quite happy we got that much!
Check out "RaceSim" as they've got a league starting soon "Formula XFR", (previously known as The Challenge Cup) which is a serious, clean league.

Within the next week, I plan on officially announcing New Dimension Racing's 2008 MiniFBM Series Calendar and Rules - using 37% intake restricted FBMs, this year it's simply a small version, to test the formula and interest in this series. We got some great reviews after the LFSBC Round with 45% restricted FBMs, but it was thougth that 45 was too much.
Check our subfourm in the Leagues and Events Subforum often, it'll be up ASAP.
On certain autoX layouts, It is really fun. Close action, doesn't actually feel that slow on small layouts.
And if you overdo it, you will still spin. Even in the restricted version.
It came about by accident - we had an LFSBC post season evening thing, and I wanted a car to use for an AX track. I thought that, cos everyone was a n00b, MRT would be pretty crap, so I picked the next car up and gave it no power
I was amazingly surprised at how well it went - everyone is really close together, but also you have to pick your opportunities to overtake carefully as it's easy to lose lots of time. Everyone loved it, so we plonked it in a round of the LFSBC this season. We also decided to make a mini-series to see what everyone else thought. And its not as slow as you might think
Well there is LOTA ( http://lfs-lota.net )... you're on the wrong side of the pond most likely for most of the Thurs. night stuff, but w do have the XRT Stock Car Cup on Sundays starting up soon and is a bit more accessible timewise those across the pond. Here's the info on it...
-------------------------
The XRT Stock Car Cup is an XRT-only stock-car type racing series consisting of 4 oval events and 4 road course events. Series features include the traditional stock car racing features such as Safety Car regulated starts/restarts, Safety Car periods, the "Lucky Dog" rule for lapped cars, and required pit stops. Three events on the Kyoto Ring Oval including the special knock-out formated All-Star Challenge, two oval events on custom courses at the AutoCross Arena, and three road course events highlight the eight event schedule. Colorful skins, exciting drafting battles, and close, hard racing make the XRT Stock Car Cup the definitive stock car racing series in LFS.
